Leaf Mulch Experiment: Take II....

So, here is round 2 of my experiment with leaf mulch. The plants in this photo were mulched when they were 2in tall and the corn is almost waist high as of today. The winter squash has blossoms all over it is and is invading the beds around it! I had to prune them back or they would have taken over the beans which are over 5ft away (and it still June!)

Now on to the unmulched section....appears to be a bit different situation over here: nary a bloom to be seen and the corn is only knee high.

Needless to say, that even without the zucchini results, this is pretty exciting. Next year I am going to test soybeans, green beens, and cucumbers (maybe more). I imagine I am going to find something that prefers the bare dirt, but we shall see.
